CBSE Class 10th Chemistry Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions & Equations -Characteristics Concept

Chemical Reaction 

Chemical Reactions are the process in which new substance with new properties are form which involve chemical changes

A + B →AB

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Reactants 

Products 

Reactants→C (s) + O2 (g) → Products→CO2 (g)

Characteristics of Chemical Reactions

⌈How can we know that chemical reactions happened ,     for this there are five characteristics ⌉

  1. Change in State
  2. Change in colour
  3. Evolution of Gas
  4. Change in Temperature
  5. Formation of Precipitate

Change in state

H2 (g)+ O2(g) → H2O(l)

                                                          Balance

2H2 + 2O2 → 2H2O

Change in colour

Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu

Evolution of Gas 

Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2   (Here hydrogen gas released )

Change in Temperature 

CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2      (Rise in Temperature ) 

Formation of Precipitate 

when we mix two solution then a substance/particle shows like a solid at bottom of solution is called precipitate

A solid formed by a change in a solution often due to a chemical reaction or change in temperature that decreases solubility of  a solid.

Pb(NO3) + KI → PbI2 (Precipitate yellow colour)+ KNO3
